What Does Treatment For SPD Look Like?
We know that each individual has unique needs and when one person has sensory difficulties it affects the entire family. At STAR Institute Treatment Center, families find the support and treatment for which they have been searching. We provide a customized approach for specific sensory challenges that you and your child experience. As functioning improves you will experience less stress, and a higher quality of life.
They gave us a diagnosis. They told us precisely which senses were over-responsive and under-responsive and explained how Joshua's behavior correlated with what was going on in his body. They were also fantastic in our parent-only education sessions where I was able to ask questions and get coaching on how to help Joshua in his every day life."
